Asterisk 1.8 package
-
oops, in directories section of asterisk.conf I see this:
astdbdir => /tmptmptmptmpvar/db/asterisk
and the directories required are not created in the filesystem (/var/log/asterisk/), nor the symlink, just checked.

I'd love to. Is there a tutorial somewhere about this, as I'm not familiar about it at all.

Hi Marcello,
just for curiosity, how does this package work in a CARP environment? Ok I can point the LAN shared IP from the VOIP phones in the company (so only the Master box receives connections from the phone), but do both boxes try to registrate to the VOIP provider (the box currently working as Master and the one working as Slave)?Thanks,

That's a good point.
In an outbound scenario it may work with carp as clients will reauth with asterisk.
For inbound calls, you can test configuring asterisk to listening on carp ips and see if backup asterisk will not crash.

Now we use Freeswitch on a server in our DMZ network...
-
In theory backup box will not be able to register as it will not have the configured ip on it.

I made changes, comitted, named "Updated asterisk package to remove errors in the log, cosmetic GUI fixes". The question is, when will they appear when reinstalling the package?
-
Did you did a pull request for this?
there is no alerts on https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages notifications
-
Sorry please try now.
-
I made two more fixes, comitted etc. and when trying to send a new pull request it says "Oops! There's already a pull request for nagyrobi:master" ??? ??? ???
-
You need to wait the commit or cancel your current pull request and push another
-
In this case please pull the first one in, I'll do some tests, and afterwards I'll push next ones if needed following.
-
Ok, I'll do it sunday.
I'm on smartphone now.
-
I discovered further issues related to the package approach, but cannot go further until commits are pulled in (to see if I'm on the right track or not).
I need to learn about how daemon's logging works in pfSense - maybe we should use a similar approach in asterisk's case.
-
Your pull request is marked as This pull request cannot be automatically merged..
I'm going to merge your changes by hand but module template and sip.conf forced is not a good idea. :(
for example:
res_timing_pthread.so is essential for audio quality(timing source) as dahdi is not installed.
chan_iax2.so is an excelent option for trunking and nat.
app_db.so is a very fast built in db for dialplansI know it´s not that simple but I think it's better trying to include a gui like asterisknow or freepbx instead of forcing configurations.
-
Good news!
I could get asterisk-gui 2.0 running on pfsense. ;D
Next step is adjust some gui options to have a full funcional asterisk package for pfsense.
Status from robi, gui configuration from digium, compilation and joining by me.

That sounds good. My approach was simplistic.
modules:
For example app_db is problematic on nanobsd, as it cannot be saved on a read-only filesystem. Iax is a good thing, but rarely used nowdays, as it's not properly route-able protocol. timing_pthread - I'll have to look at this, but I remember having dependency problems on pfSense install. Disabling non-used modules saves memory too.
I'm using it flawlessly with 2 SIP phones and 4 SIP registrar accounts like this and never had any sound or whatever problems so far.sip.conf:
Has specific recommendations for working properly on pfSense. Plus the original sip.conf is huge and over commented, not speaking that each .conf file is installed twice - keeping only one fully commented is more than enough.But having a full-blown asterisk-GUI indeed implies to solve all the dependency problems properly - and after all, renders the simple status GUI useless, as all the functions I wrote I suppose, are present in the big GUI.
I'd love that too - but requires lots of work, I guess…
